Exploration: The Third Book in the Celest Trilogy Chapter 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Chapter 4

Closest Galaxy

We arrived here to make contact for the first time with intelligent life outside our galaxy. The world we visited is similar in advancement to us. When we explained to them we were from the closest large galaxy to them, they told us they called it Andromeda. They further explained they called their galaxy The Milky Way, what we would call The Latterni.

Chapter 5

Inner Universe Younger

The first planet we visited here is flaking stones to make tools. This is how we began as well; It stands to reason, as you break a stone it forms a sharp edge, this is the first thing any intelligent being would discover. The second planet we encountered was melting down iron to make metal spear points and tools. It was further along than the first planet, but stone tools probably are the precursor to this just as they were for us.

Dr. Helda Heldagaard

Note: That these planets use stones of glass, chipped into sharp points as their starting point of toolmaking, is interesting; glass stones are silicon dioxide. We began with this ourselves, but ended with this as well; we discovered that silicon if doped with agents such as boron and phosphorus semiconduct, which enables binary logical gates for electronic computing.

Chapter 6

Inner Universe Older

Here we encountered a civilization that while it does planetary exploration within its star system, it has not achieved the ability to travel to the stars beyond the one they orbit, that is, it is not interstellar but is spacefaring. Though one of our directives is that we cannot make our presence known to primitive peoples, because we might just blow their minds, we can make contact with civilizations where the people are open to the idea that life from beyond their planet may exist and be interstellar. In that this planet is doing well and is progressing fine, because of that we saw no need to make contact with them.

Dr Helda Heldagaard

Chapter 7

Outer Universe Younger

Here we made contact with a civilization more advanced than ourselves. Its representatives said they will be establishing relationships with the representatives of our planet, and that they will give us the where-with-all to make technologies currently beyond our development.

Dr. Helda Heldagaard

Chapter 8

Outer Universe Older

Here these civilizations have little use for technology; they can do just about anything their technologies can do, merely with their minds.

Dr. Helda Heldagaard

Chapter 9

When they arrived to the outer reaches they found no life there, at least in a physical form.

They spoke to Larry’s mind merely with their thoughts:

We have no physical location in space and time as you understand it. Our location in space and time is a conscious perspective. Since you are thinking of the galaxy where we originated, that is where our consciousness is at this moment, and is hence what we see now, but our consciousness is distributed throughout the universe uniformly and completely. You are thinking of the ethereal beings outside this Universe that created you and us. We have freed ourselves from the physical laws of this Universe they created. We could leave this realm and go to theirs, but that would be boring. We choose to stay here so we can meet people like you. They may have created this Universe, but we know that it is only a functioning part of an infinite regression of Universes. They don’t understand how this can be that they created this Universe yet that it is part of an overall idea of an infinite regression of things they didn’t create.
